1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: Ever duplessy Ellen.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 2: So the bad news is that the rumors are true

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: and she had will be splitting oufter nearly forty years now.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: They've announced one last tour so you can still get

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: to see them, and the demand is already so high

6
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: for the tickets that the server on the website crash. Now,

7
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: of course you know this. John too Good is the

8
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: lead singer.

9
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: John. Hello, Hi, Heather, how are you going? John?

10
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm sad at this news because you guys

11
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: have been a fixture of so many of our lives

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: growing up. I was only speaking to you, like, when

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: were you in the studio with me three or four

14
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: weeks ago? Did you already know you were doing this?

15
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: I did, but I couldn't say anything.

16
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Were you dying to say something like it's one of

17
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: those secrets we want to get it out.

18
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: It was a secret, you know, I was there to

19
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: talk about when you record, so you know I wanted

20
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: to talk about that. So, but it was something that

21
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: we've been sort of thinking about for a couple of

22
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: years now, And because when we were young, it was

23
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: always one hundred percent. She had all the time, even

24
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: before the families, before everything all came first and I

25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: think we just got to that point where it was like,

26
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: to do this properly, we need to give it one

27
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time. But none of us we've

28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: all got kids now, we've all got other things going on,

29
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: and it was just like, well, rather than end in

30
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: a whimper, let's go out.

31
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: With a band, but a hold on, John, I mean,

32
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: you've got kids, but Bono's got kids and they made

33
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,279
Speaker 2: it work.

34
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we've also all got different and jobs and

35
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: what sorts of things going on. So everyone's busy all

36
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the time, and it's just this this, this is a

37
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: great band that deserves that's full on attention. I just

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: think that we came to a sort of collective agreement

39
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: that we couldn't do that, and yeah, so it was

40
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: time to sort of put it to bed, but put

41
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it to bed in a going out on a high

42
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: rather than going out with a whimper.

43
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: What are the other businesses you guys have got? Are

44
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: you guys holding down regular people jobs as well?

45
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Well? Everyone does. I think Tom manages about three different

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: bands in Australia. Phil is basically a tour manager for

47
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: international acts around Australia. Carl runs a organic food store

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: down in Pokakoee.

49
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: Stop it does he Yeah.

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: So it's there's everyone's doing everything all this.

51
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: I come from Pookakoe. I'm going to have to go

52
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: and visit Carl's store. John, Okay, so you guys are

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: gonna you're gonna have You're gonna go out with one

54
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: last hurrah and is it going to be epic?

55
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: It is going to be absolutely epic. We've literally laid

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: down the gortland to ourselves to make sure that we

57
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: cover the whole career, like from first EP right to

58
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: the last album. We're going to make sure that we

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: played bangers off every single one. But the other new

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: thing we've built which we've never done before, which is

61
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: we're going to make every show a bit different. So

62
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: usually when Sheehad go touring, we get acceptless together at

63
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the front of the tour and we just play it

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: to death. And this is the summer around, it's like,

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: no each We're going to make sure every show is

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: unique and different, and specially.

67
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: What's the song that you finish on?

68
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Well, it'd be pretty hard to not play the game last.

69
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, I'm yeah, yeah, I think you've nailed that,

70
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: all right, John, listen, thank you, go well, and I'm

71
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: I'm personally sad, but you know, all good things have

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 3: to end.

73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: Well, I think, yeah, we're, We're. It's going to be

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: a bittersweet, but I think it's going to be at

75
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: the same time.

76
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,040
